Hello, how can I get the datetime value of a time based bar in NinjaTrader?

You want to use:

 

Code

Time[n]

where n is the barsago you want to access.

Also possibly GetBar() depending on your exact requirements, which you didn't really specify.

Well, GetBar() does the exact opposite and retrieves the BarsAgo for a DateTime.

Thanks for your help, but when I read Time[0], I get '01.01.1800 00:00:00'.
The reason I want to read these values: I store bar values and some indicator values in a database. When I have to reload the chart, all old values are processed again. To avoid this, I want to use the bar time.

So you don't want to process any historical data? Or just some? If it's the former you can use

 

Code

if (Historical) return;

Thanks,
this solved the problem.
